After all, it is American soldiers who actually kill a heptapod, due entirely to fearmongering American tv personalities, and while the Russian and Chinese governments may be a bit more open about their desire to control any discoveries, its not like the American camp is livestreaming their coversations. I would say more that the US military/intelligence community is depicted as more politically stable but split, leading to a lack of oversight and control, while the Chinese military/intelligence community in what we can see is more often united under strongman figures (General Shang) but that that status is more vulnerable.
